The World Cup might be half way around the globe in South Africa, but Hollywood was glued to the action on the field on Wednesday morning as they watched the American team advance to the second round following a win over Algeria.

"USA!!!! Top the group!!!! Awesome!!!" Joel wrote on his Twitter account.

"Brothers & Sisters" star and former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Gilles Marini commended the Algerian team on their efforts but celebrated the big win for America, writing, "YEahhhhh !! Usa USA USA USA .. So good .! Algeria fought well . But U cannot ever count the United States of AMERICA. I am loving it."

The US team will play again this weekend – against either Ghana or Germany — and we're sure Hollywood will be watching!
